Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Gem/Cis or Gem/Carbo
Radiation: Comparator: CT or MRI and FDG-PET
Participants have 4 computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at screening, baseline, at the end of each treatment cycle (day 21 and day 42.) They also have FDG-PET scans, 2 at Baseline and one at the end of each treatment cycle.
Drug: Gemcitabine and Cisplatin or Gemcitabine and Carboplatin
Gemcitabine administered intravenously at a dose of 1000-1250 mg/m^2 on Day 1 and Day 8 of each cycle; Cisplatin administered intravenously at a dose of 60-85 mg/m^2 or Carboplatin at a dose of 4-6 Area Under the Curve (AUC) on Day 1 of each cycle. Two cycles are given 3 weeks apart.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Metabolic Response Conversion Rate Between 3 and 6 Weeks After Starting Chemotherapy at a Threshold of a 20% Decrease in SUVmean
Time Frame: Weeks 3 and 6 following chemotherapy
Metabolic response conversion rate is the number of participants initially classified as non-metabolic responders relative to baseline at week 3 after starting chemotherapy, who are then, relative to week 3, reclassified as metabolic responders at week 6 after starting chemotherapy, based on a pre-specified threshold of a 20% decrease in mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) of [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). The SUVmean was calculated by summing the radioactivity from volumes of interest within each tumor and normalizing for the injected dose and lean body mass.
Weeks 3 and 6 following chemotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Repeatability of FDG SUVmean at Baseline
Time Frame: Between -14 to -6 days and between -5 to 0 days prior to starting chemotherapy
Two positron emission tomography (PET) scans are obtained on different days at baseline, as close together as possible, under conditions of no biological change, to measure FDG SUVmean. The SUVmean was calculated by summing the radioactivity from volumes of interest within each tumor and normalizing for the injected dose and lean body mass.
Between -14 to -6 days and between -5 to 0 days prior to starting chemotherapy
Change in FDG-PET Uptake From Baseline to Week 3
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 3
Fold change in SUVmean of FDG uptake with accompanying 80% Confidence Interval. The SUVmean was calculated by summing the radioactivity from volumes of interest within each tumor and normalizing for the injected dose and lean body mass.
Baseline and Week 3
Change in FDG-PET Uptake From Week 3 to Week 6
Time Frame: Week 3 and Week 6
Fold change in SUVmean of FDG uptake with accompanying 80% Confidence Interval. The SUVmean was calculated by summing the radioactivity from volumes of interest within each tumor and normalizing for the injected dose and lean body mass.
Week 3 and Week 6
Change in FGD-PET Uptake From Baseline to Week 6
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6

Fold change in SUVmean of FDG uptake with accompanying 80% Confidence Interval.

The SUVmean was calculated by summing the radioactivity from volumes of interest within each tumor and normalizing for the injected dose and lean body mass.

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
